The general tone of the markets the past week
has been quiet but satisfactory for the season of
the year, with a very firm feeling Ia values. The
market for Flour is very firm under the influence
of a further rise in Wheat, and the advance Ia
freghts to take effect next Monday. Millers are
stiff in their yews and will not sell except at full
prices. Grain steady, but not quotably higher
and firm al previous figures. Sugar are quiet and
unchanged at 714c for granuated ana Gao for
Extra G, the stock on hand at latest dates ID
the four ports was 58,522 tons against 10000
tons in 1886 Molasses steady; sto k on hand III

With every indication of better figures in the near
future Burning Oils have taken another turn
upward and we quote all kinds 14c higher. In
Produce, prices have been steady throughout the
week with no important features to note In the
situation. A. c. Lombaras Sons cable from Liv-
erpool on Apples says that future prospects are
promising; the bulk Of the SOFT bookkeeping fruit
has been shipped off, and the English markets
will soon be cleared of it, and good hard stock

HARPER's YOUNG PEOPLE is miscellany
Of the best reading for boys and girls. The
serial and short stories found in its pages
are of high literary quality; and while they
have all the dramatic interest that Juvenile
fiction can possess, they do not debase the
false views Of life and motives OF action.
The paper contains valuable articles ON sci
entifc subjects and travel, historical and BIZ
ographical sketches, papers on athletic sports
and games, stirring poems, etc, contributed
by the brightest and most famous writers.
No subject that may properly enlist the in
terest Of young people Is foreign TO its pur-
pose. In all the departments free use is
made of Illustrations in aid OF the text and
ne pictures representing the work Of the
oremost artists and engravers lavishly adorn
Every line in the paper Is subjected to the
most rigid editorial scrutiny in order that
nothing harmful may enter It's columns.
The fact that HARPER's Young PEOPLE
appears at weekly intervals, sustains the in
terest felt by its readers, especial in serial
stories and continued articles, while the six
teen pages exclusive of occasional Supple
ments) Of which each number consists afford
ample space for the utmost variety OF mat
ter
A novel and important feature Of the vol
ume of HARPER'S YOUNG PEOPLE Tor 1888,
which will comprise SO weekly numbers, will
be Supplements Of especial interest to Par
ents and Teachers.
The years weekly numbers Of the paper
contain about one-fourth more reading than
the twelve numbers Of the most popular Of
the monthly juvenile magazines, and this at
a yearly subscription price considerably less
than theirs.
